Sponsored by JobFairGiant.com, the expo is designed to provide recruiters with a “one-stop hiring solution.” Candidates can meet recruiters face to face, interview and potentially can be hired in the same day. Companies are looking for employees in manufacturing and skilled trades, management, accounting, restaurant/retail, information technology, general labor/production/automotive, sales, and other areas, including bilingual positions.

Job seekers must wear business attire; there are no exceptions.

JobFairGiant.com offers these recommendations for those attending a job fair:

* Use websites to search for jobs in advance to target the most promising, participating employers. Read employers’ profiles, if available, so you’re prepared to answer the question: “Why do you want to work for us?”

* Plan to bring at least 25 fresh resumes, 40 or more if it’s a larger event.

* Before a job fair, prepare to interview on the spot, summary style, in a few minutes or less. That is, be prepared to quickly sell your skills, talents and experiences.

* Visit your target employers first with resume in hand and spend some quality time with each. But keep in mind that they have many more job seekers waiting, so don’t monopolize their time or be offended if they cut it short. Once you’ve hit all your targets, “shop” other employers’ booths and do some networking.

* Collect business cards or contact information as you go, and follow up within 24 to 48 hours with a thank-you letter to each of the representatives visited.
